Container tree - PnP Modern Search

Hello everyone,

I am trying to create a page on one of my SP sites dedicated to search. Specifically, I want to use tags/labels as filters. 

So far, I have managed to do this using the PnP Modern Search filter tool on one level (I create a column, map the crawled properties with a RefinableString, and configure the filter).

Now I would like to do the same thing, but this time on multiple levels with a tree structure. I've created a TermSet and in the filter configuration, I saw this “Container tree” option, but nothing works, and I can't find any help or documentation on the subject.

Does anyone have any information? Or a way to use this option and have tree view on the filter?

Thank you in advance, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards

    The hierarchical refiner has been a feature request for years, and we would love if someone would implement it. We know that it can be done as it is a feature in the commercial offering by Sword Group

    Hi FabienGi​ 

     

    there is no option to do that in the standard solutions. The value in the property are flat, the values in the search properties have no hierarchies.

     

    I think a possible solution is to develop a tree view like a term store hierarchy.

     

    When you find another solution, im also interested 😉

     

    Best, Dave
